Libya,officially the State of Libya,is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. Libya borders Mediterranean Sea to the north,Egypt to the east,Sudan to the southeast,Chad to the south,Niger to the southwest,Algeria to the west,and Tunisia to the northwest. Libya comprises three historical regions:Tripolitania,Fezzan,and Cyrenaica. With an area of almost 1.8 million km2 (700,000 sq mi),it is the fourth-largest country in Africa and the Arab world,and the 16th-largest in the world. The country's official religion is Islam,with 96.6% of the Libyan population being Sunni Muslims. The official language of Libya is Arabic,with vernacular Libyan Arabic being spoken most widely. The majority of Libya's population is Arab. The largest city and capital,Tripoli,is located in north-western Libya and contains over a million of Libya's seven million people.
The politics of Libya has been in an uncertain state since the collapse of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in 2011 and a recent civil war and various jihadists and tribal elements controlling parts of the country. On 10 March 2021,the interim Government of National Unity (GNU),unifying the Second Al-Thani Cabinet and the Government of National Accord was formed,only to face new opposition in Government of National Stability,until Libyan Political Dialogue Forum assured the ongoing ceasefire.
A national unity government,government of national unity (GNU),or national union government is a broad coalition government consisting of all parties in the legislature,usually formed during a time of war or other national emergency. A unity government according to the principles of consensus democracy lacks opposition,or opposition parties are too small and negligible. Switzerland is an example of country with stable,long-term national unity governments.
The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army is a Sudanese rebel group active in Darfur,Sudan. It was founded as the Darfur Liberation Front by members of three indigenous ethnic groups in Darfur:the Fur,the Zaghawa,and the Masalit,among whom were the leaders Abdul Wahid al Nur of the Fur and Minni Minnawi of the Zaghawa.
Since 2011,Libya currently does not have an official national emblem. The Constitutional Declaration issued by the National Transitional Council on August 2011 defines the flag of Libya,but does not make any provisions for a coat of arms.
The Cabinet of Libya serves as the leadership for the executive branch of the government of Libya.
The Libyan Armed Forces or the Libyan Arab Armed Forces are,in principle,the state organisation responsible for the military defence of Libya,including ground,air and naval forces.
The General National Congress or General National Council was the legislative authority of Libya for two years following the end of the First Libyan Civil War. It was elected by popular vote on 7 July 2012,and took power from the National Transitional Council on 8 August.
The Libyan House of Representatives is the legislature of Libya resulting from the 2014 Libyan parliamentary election,which had an 18% turnout. On 4 August 2014,in the course of the progressing August 2014 Islamist coup in the capital Tripoli in the context of the Libyan Civil War,the House of Representatives relocated itself to Tobruk in the far east of Libya. Several HoR sessions were held in Tripoli in May 2019 while Tripoli was under armed attack,electing an Interim Speaker for 45 days. Between 2014 and 2021,the House of Representatives supported the Tobruk-based government led by Abdullah al-Thani before supporting the incumbent Government of National Unity led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh. In September 2021,the House of Representatives passed a no-confidence motion against the interim GNU government and later appointed a rival Government of National Stability (GNS).
The National Salvation Government was a government body formed by politicians from the General National Congress's blocs that lost the June 2014 elections in Libya. The NSG was led by Khalifa al-Ghawil. The term Libya Dawn Coalition was used to refer to the armed groups and the wider political movement supporting the NSG. The NSG was one of the major sides in the Second Libyan Civil War from its formation August 2014 until its dissolution in April 2016.
The Libyan Crisis is the current humanitarian crisis and political-military instability occurring in Libya,beginning with the Arab Spring protests of 2011,which led to two civil wars,foreign military intervention,and the ousting and death of Muammar Gaddafi. The first civil war's aftermath and proliferation of armed groups led to violence and instability across the country,which erupted into renewed civil war in 2014. The second war lasted until October 23,2020,when all parties agreed to a permanent ceasefire and negotiations.
